This interesting look at Caribbean culture and literature, along with that of Latin American countries with Caribbean coasts takes as its starting point the statements of Édouard Glissant, an activist for Caribbean autonomy, on the "Other America". The authors have interpreted "Other" in several ways, from the portrayal of internal and external landscapes in the work of Caribbean authors to racial and gender-related feelings of otherness, to acts of becoming the Other by moving away from the Caribbean. Interviews with two of the authors studied add much to the overall impact of the book. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
